CO2 Capture from Off-shore Gas Turbines Using Supersonic Gas Separation

CO2 Capture from Natural Gas Combined Cycles

CO2 capture from fossil fuel power plants is increasingly proposed for greenhouse gases emission mitigation. It can be applied to coal power stations (with boiler and steam cycle or with gasification) or to natural gas combined cycles (NGCC). The first case is probably the most important in a mid-term perspective, due to: (i) the larger amount of avoided carbon per unit of electricity produced,...

Process simulation and optimal design of membrane separation system for CO2 capture from natural gas

In order to avoid carbon dioxide (CO2) built up in the atmosphere, the major source of global warming, CO2 capture must be applied to large point sources including natural gas processing. Membrane process, a relatively new technology among other available techniques, can be used for the purpose of CO2 capture from natural gas. Over the decades, the membrane performance has been described by dif...

Flue gas treatment for CO2 capture

This report is in two sections: the first describes the flue gas and its treatment in post-combustion capture and the second covers the flue gas in oxyfuel combustion capture. The main components of the flue gas in pulverised coal combustion for postcombustion capture are CO2, N2, O2 and H2O, and air pollutants such as SOx, NOx, particulates, HCl, HF, mercury as well as other contaminants. The ...

Vanadium poisoning from gas turbines.

Vanadium pentoxide poisoning has been described in men working in plants processing vanadium ore by Symanski (1939) and Sjoberg (1950), and twice (Wyers, 1946; Williams, 1952) in men exposed to the soot of fuel oil burned in boilers. It does not, however, appear to have been described before in men who work on gas turbines. Since these may become much more common in the future as sources of pow...
